The table in the midst of my game with the Gallic Chieftan Benattaxic |
As a change up Ben took the Gauls whilst I took command of the Romans in another game. Looking pretty close again.

The table in the midst of my game with the Gallic Chieftan Benattaxic |
Impact imminent in this one |
Horse Artillery ready for action. Oh those dashing Prussians! |
Foot arillery |
Fusiliers based for skirmishing in GdA |
The full battery of Horse Artillery |
Foot battery with a file of some line musketeers marching past |
Prussian Jagers - lovely figures. |
These are lovely sculpts from Elite Miniatures |
A slightly wider view of the Foot battery showing the form of basing I’m using for this period |
The Light Column of the Romans has done its job |
A Legio breaks through the line |
The Sassanids look to turn the Roman left however they are meeting very stiff resistance |
Some raw Legionnaires look to make their mark with some gentle prompting by their General |
The gap that has formed on the Roman left |
On the Roman right the Light Column is raising merry hell! |
Bowmen run for their lives |
Saravan, or as I used to call them in WRG days, Clibanarri, hit the Roman Equites in the flank |
The banter starts early! |
The view from the Roman left |
Cataracts deployed across from rough ground always ends up in tears! |
A view across the cavalry dominated Roman left |
The view across from the Persian right |
Love these battle mats |
The Sassanid right flank advances rapidly |
A view of the central Sassanid Command and their baggage |
The Romans send a flying column of auxiliaries and veteran lights to take on the enemy |
Action on the left |
Heavy action across the entire centre |
Things go well for the Romans however the Sassanids are relatively untouched |
Beautiful spectacle and both young men are now fully engrossed |
A unit of Equites Illyricani is destroyed |
Allowing the Sassanid Saravan to turn and view the Roman flank |
Action continues on the Roman right |
A view down the table |
That elephant needs support as the Romans continue to fight hard |
